TO BE AT PEACE WITH EVERY MAN

To be at peace with ev'ry man
Each faithful soul desires,
For which they do the best they can,
Like as Saint Paul requir's.

Their aim is not revenge to seek,
Nor yet in malice live:
But like their Saviour humble meek
And freely will forgive.

To wrath and spite they give no place
But keep their Lord in view;
They pray for his renewing grace
To bear his Image too.

Their charity to all extends,
They feel for other's grief,
They pitty foes as well as friends,
And pray for their relief.

They help in ev'ry time of need;
And with a liberal hand;
The naked cloath, the hungry feed,
As Jesus gave command.

O may the Lord impress my mind
With love and christian faith,
To be affectionate and kind
As the Apostle saith.
